Anything Hendrix

Candlebox’s first album

GNR - appetite for destruction

Nirvana - Nevermind

Jump Little Children - vertigo or between the dim and dark

Lots of great stuff out there from the grunge/alternative era, classic rock and more hair metal than they get credit for

Wife and I's first concert was Candlebox, I appreciate their first album more after seeing them live. It was a small venue great show.

Off the top of my head...
Van Morrison - Moondance
The Who - Who’s Next
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
REM - Automatic for the People
TP & the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes
The Stones - Exile on Main Street
Dave Matthews - Under the Table and Dreaming
Crosby, Stills, & Nash - Debut
Adele - 21
Jim Croce - You don’t mess around with Jim
Compilations are cheating, but if original soundtracks aren’t then:
Vangelis - Chariots of Fire soundtrack.
And a bunch already mentioned.
Can't believe I forgot this one:

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

And a few others I thought of after a good nights sleep:

Los Lobos - How will the wolf survive?
The Police - Synchronicity
Van Halen - Debut
Billy Joel - Songs from the Attic
U2 - Joshua Tree
The Stones - Some Girls
Paul Simon - Graceland
Bonnie Raitt - Nick of Time
The Band - Soundtrack to the Last Waltz

And one that is always special to me because it was recorded in DC and features a local DJ (Don "Cerphe" Colwell) who was one of our favorites as kids. The other factor was how so many of the songs were so different live, and included the "Tower of Power" horn section; great stuff:

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus

Joshua Tree was a big miss on my part. Best U2 album, IMO.

You could always listen to the sound track from Dazed and Confused and be pretty satisfied.

Alice Cooper: First 7 albums(up to '73) but Killer is my favorite. Cooper was under rated by the public but the band created the Detroit Rock sound that everybody copied.

Seen Alice Cooper 5 times live, the wife is over 15 times seeing him live. We try to catch him every time he comes through.

I LOVE Simon & Garfunkel, but Paul Simon solo can suck Bonnie Raitt's dik! ;)

I agree in general - but the Still Crazy After All These Years album had some damn good tracks.
And when you have members of the Muscle Shoals band backing you up, it makes it all that much better.

I remember you telling me that before. I bet it was a great show. That first album was really good and I expected them to end up a lot bigger than they did.

Andy Taylor, "The Rescue"... h/t to Cooter for finding the print for me.
My BIL is a big fan of Western Art and a bit of a collector, so I know a little thru him, but had never seen any of Taylor’s work with any people or animals. The ones I’ve seen were just landscapes.
BTW - When you were living in Woodstock, did you ever make it to the Booth Museum of Western Art in Cartersville?

No, and I'm not a big Western Art guy, the message and look of that Taylor print is why I wanted it. Closest thing I have to "Western Art" is several different prints of Buford at Gettysburg. I do have a bunch of Robert Taylor prints of both WWII aircraft, and tall ship man o wars. I really like his stuff.

Gotcha. Buford.....a great patriot; a southerner, but one who actually believed the oath he had taken meant something.
He did spend a lot of his early career on the frontier, so that almost counts!

He understood good ground and what it meant, that's for damn sure, and yes, because of his time out west.
